Sony AXS-AR1 Raw Recorder

The AXS-AR1 AXS media reader offers an incredible maximum data read speed of up to 9.6 Gbps (1200MB/s) from AXS memory via Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 with included adapter which is 4x faster than AXS-CR1 USB3 reader (300MB/s). This makes it easier than ever to import 4K/2K RAW/X-OCN/XAVC files recorded by AXS-R7 or AXS-R5 onto SxS Memory. The card reader also handles both AXS-A and SxS memory cards.

* Under certification.

macOS 10.6 or later required. Windows OS not currently supported.

High speed transfer by Thunderbolt 2/3 interface

The AXS-AR1 AXS media reader offers an incredible maximum data read speed of up to 9.6 Gbps (1200MB/s) from AXS memory via Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 with included adapter.

Daisy chain

The unit supports a daisy chain function whereby more than one reader can be connected via Thunderbolt 2 to a Mac and Thunderbolt 3 with included adapter.

Compatible slot for AXS Memory and SxS Memory

The AXS-AR1 is the best transfer reader for using PMW-F55/F5 and AXS-R7/R5 because it supports not only AXS-A Memory but also SxS Memory. This can be particularly convenient after a shoot when using simultaneous recording with both media types.

macOS support

The AXS-AR1 is compatible with Mac computers with macOS 10.6 or later that support Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 with included adapter. Operation is not guaranteed on all computers.
